Notes:
- Thank you Betty.
- Massive thanks to anonymous for the source, the transfer & sharing the knowledge while hiding out away from the Bay Area.
- emphasis decoded & dc offset removed
- The copy from pcm clone was via a 601esd and spdif, thus a clone of the beta pcm and not an analog out to analog in copy.
- This source includes the last three tracks of set two, virtually intact.
- The stereo image is correct.
- Huge thanks to Jay Ashley, Sandy Troy, Pat Lee, Matt Smith, Rheinhart Holwein, Scott Clugston, Rich Gastwirt, Mark Severson, Dennis Koda, Charlie Miller & SIRMick for the SBD/AUD patches.  You guys paved the road.
- Officially released, "The Closing of Winterland"
- Simulcast on both radio (KSAN-FM) & television (KQED)
- New Riders of The Purple Sage & Blues Brothers opened

Checksums & tags created in xACT

Tagging notes:
Show information is embedded within the header of each flac file.
It will display on any player capable of directly playing flac files.
If converted to wav during processing, all tags will be stripped,
however audio data will remain unaffected. If you must
transcode to a lossy format, do so directly Flac > Lossy.
Use ffp or st5 to validate audio integrity.
Md5 values will change if tagging is altered.
